I love it. I also love the nn Vera.

It's a ln as well, which might count in its favour. Or not.

Pretty sound, excellent meaning, one of the better virtue names. Restrained and modest, but still a real attention-getter. But, I don't think Vera is a good fit. I knew a Veronica who fought a losing battle against Vera, Ronnie and Nicky, and Vera is a perfectly acceptable stand-alone name - as Miss Jean Brodie remarked, for those who like that kind of thing, that is the kind of thing they like!

Verity has definitely grown on me over the last couple of years. It's quite a nice name actually. I wouldn't use Vera as a nn though, as I don't think Verity needs a nn.

I love love love Verity. I like most V- girl's names really and I like most virtue names so it would be hard for me not to like it. I'd consider it for a child IRL.

I like the nicknames Vee, Vivi or Vera

I really like Vera, especially with an acute accent on the 'e'. Verity is okay. but I'd probably use Vera alone.

I really, really, really love Verity. I didn't used to be a big fan, but after I watching a show with a character called Verity, I just fell in love. The image and personality I get from Verity is beautiful, and I just love how it sounds like it's come straight from the Regency period or Victorian era. There's a certain plucky heroine feel to it that really appeals to me too. Plus the meanings great, and the sound is gorgeous too; energetic and light, but still with some substance to ground it. Vera is a cute nn and I know an awesome Vera who makes me like it more. But Verity is gorgeous enough to not need a nn in my opinion.

I like it, it's elegant but spunky. More delicate than Veronica.

I don't really see the point of the nn Vera, though. It doesn't really save you breath and it's not an endearment. Verity doesn't need a nn, imo.

It doesn't feel like a name to me, but like something an insurance company might have in its slogan: "Fidelity, Loyalty, Verity, that's Countrywide."

Love

Verity is quite nice, even though I slightly prefer Verily.

Vera makes sense and is chic.

I love Verity and would seriously consider it for a child. Not at all overused, a big plus. I would not use the nickname Vera. It's much less pretty than Verity and I don't think Verity needs a nickname.

I like Verity. I think it sounds quite light and elegant. The only one I have ever met is about 20 years old.

I don't like Vera as a nn at all. If a nn is needed I would prefer just V or Vee.

I like it, but wouldn't use it for real. Vera is a good nn.
